Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Ah yes currency back then is the same as today. He definitely had USD bills in the sack.
If this ruler was a low ranking noble like a baron it could definitely be all his gold. Gold was worth a lot more back then because they had less of it in circulation. It was rare especially before they discovered the New World
No noble holds all their wealth in liquid currency. Most of their wealth comes from their land holdings, etc.
Petty nobles back then were vassals and often heavily in debt to their liege. Even with their land holdings some basically had a negative net worth. So most of their income of the land went straight to their liege. The coins they had on hand were their only wealth they could spend.
